    The FI and I met while we were both working on a refinery expansion job site in Washington state but he knew that if we wanted to have anything come of the relationship we developed then he would have to move to the mid-west with me because of my little one. I never expected him to give up his career as a welding inspector so I knew there would be some traveling in our future. We were trying pretty hard to find him something local since we have the ConocoPhillips refinery here but...then it happened. He got a call yesterday from a potential employer that said I need you here Monday. So just before Easter and my breast augmentation he is leaving. He will be heading out in about 2 hours and I am taking this a little harder than I thought I would. He has been laid off since November and it has been amazing having him around this long and now he is off again. =( And of all the places he is going, it is back to the plant we met at in Washington, which was not in a pretty part of Washington lol. I am so bummed because my daughter is out of school today and we had all kinds of things planned and Easter activities galore. To top it off, we scheduled my breast augmentation for May 20th and he isnt even going to be here and that will be the first time I ever, and I mean ever, have any type of surgery...I have never even had any type of dental work and I am a little scared about it and really wish he was going to be able to be there with me. I am very very thankful that he has a job and that it pays very well plus, I knew it was bound to happen. Just wanted to vent ladies...thank you!

    AW. :( Why does he have to leave today? What if he leaves Sunday night and you guys did a early Easter? Can he come back for your surgery in May?

    Oh man that sucks!! I'm so sorry :( Hopefully he'll be able to find work closer to you soon. Regarding the surgery... do you have family and/or friends that could be there with you? From what I understand the first 2-3 days you really need help around the house.

    He had to leave today because we are in North Central Oklahoma and he has to drive all the way to Bellingham, Washington which it the north western most corner of Washington and its about a 3 day drive. He said before he left that he would try to take off work and come home for my surgery but with their line of work it is just kind of hard because they work turnarounds and stuff like that which is basically balls to the wall work for about 2-5 months. If he isnt able to make it back I am fortunate enough to have my family anf friends around and my mom or sister would have no problem going with me to the surgery and helping me out with the kiddo. I'm just so sad about it.

    Thanks @alishadhs, I am really hoping they let him come home for it. It is kind of close to Memorial Day, even though its the weekend before I am still really hopeful about it. Like I said I have my mom, my sister, my grandma and some friends that wouldnt mind helping out but it was something I just really wanted him here for

    so do you have an estimation at all of when he'll be home next? like, to stay for a while? or is he constantly 'on the road' while working?

    ((hugs))

    do you get a chance to keep in pretty good touch while he's gone?

    hang in there, girl! i know how you feel to some respect -- my fiance is an officer in the air force and is gearing up to deploy for 6 months, come june 1st. it is so hard to have them be gone! it's also tough to have people tell you, "at least you'll have your family & friends ... etc."  -- which is true, it's wonderful to have them around for company & support! but, we know there is no replacement for our guys! just remember that he'd be there if he could and he will be thinking of you! he's lucky to have a woman in his life that is as understanding & supportive of him & his line of work. :)

    @daydream - As of right now his work keeps him constantly on the road unless he is laid off. We are currently trying to find someplace that he can work and stay in one place but that isnt really going to well. All the good paying jobs require travel and since we are trying to plan a wedding and buy a house it is the smarter choice right now it is just no fun at all!! We are very fortunate to be able to keep communication pretty regular whether it be via phone or webcam so I really have it better than most and shouldnt really be whining.

    :-( I'm sorry to hear about this! it's a new set of challenges and while I can see how great this is for the family, it has to be hard on you and your child. We are hoping for an easier solution for you guys as soon as possible, but in the meantime you can come here any time and vent!

    I'm sorry he is leaving but I'm sure that he is doing it for the improvement of your relationship.  Do you have any other family members that can go with you to the surgery?  The doctors won't let you go there alone.  If you have a family member, it won't be as good as him but it won't be bad!  You don't really remember much of it anyway!
